From the backseat of the car this morning, I hear,
"Mama?"
"Yes, honey?"
"If we're all -- everything -- made of star dust, why doesn't everything FEEL the same?"
"...... um. Did you know that stars -- and planets and moons -- are all made of MANY different elements? Carbon and iron and so on? That stuff can all turn into other stuff, depending on how hot it gets or how hard it's pressed."
"Oh. Ok."
